More Tips on HTML coding for Google Earth:

Making Text Italic and Bold:

  • To make words italic, you insert the code <i> before the text you want to be italicized and then insert the code </i> after the text you want to be italicized.
  • To make text boldface, insert the code <b> before the text you want to be bold and then insert the code </b> after the text.

Inserting Line and Paragraphs Breaks:
  • *Pressing ENTER or RETURN key in the description box will not actually work
  • The HTML code <br> provides a space between one object and another. To make the placemark's pop-up look more presentable, it is suggested to put the break <br> between objects.
  • To insert a paragraph break (creates a blank space between paragraphs) type <p> immediately after the last word.

Inserting Images:
  • The image must be on the web, isolated from text. It is necessary to have the image's URL for the image to appear in the placemark's pop-up window.
  • Suggested: Images between 250 and 600 pixels wide
  • To insert the image code in the placemark description window, type <img src="paste the URL you copied here">
